[R] Desktop.ini hiddeln file creates during compilaiton

[Jeff Newmiller]

Make a reproducible example [1][2][3], because it doesn't happen for me. Then post your example at [4] or [5], because this is the wrong list for this question. 

You may find that the act of browsing the directory using a GUI is what creates that file rather than the compilation itself.
